 /**
  * DOC: overview
  *
+ * We have three types of color management in the AMD display driver.
+ * 1. the legacy &drm_crtc DEGAMMA, CTM, and GAMMA properties
+ * 2. AMD driver private color management on &drm_plane and &drm_crtc
+ * 3. AMD plane color pipeline
+ *
+ * The CRTC properties are the original color management. When they were
+ * implemented per-plane color management was not a thing yet. Because
+ * of that we could get away with plumbing the DEGAMMA and CTM
+ * properties to pre-blending HW functions. This is incompatible with
+ * per-plane color management, such as via the AMD private properties or
+ * the new drm_plane color pipeline. The only compatible CRTC property
+ * with per-plane color management is the GAMMA property as it is
+ * applied post-blending.
+ *
+ * The AMD driver private color management properties are only exposed
+ * when the kernel is built explicitly with -DAMD_PRIVATE_COLOR. They
+ * are temporary building blocks on the path to full-fledged &drm_plane
+ * and &drm_crtc color pipelines and lay the driver's groundwork for the
+ * color pipelines.
+ *
+ * The AMD plane color pipeline describes AMD's &drm_colorops via the
+ * &drm_plane's COLOR_PIPELINE property.

+ * This means that the following configuration is assumed to be the

+ *
+ * Plane DGM Bypass -> Plane CTM Bypass -> Plane RGM Bypass -> ... CRTC
+ * DGM Bypass -> CRTC CTM Bypass -> CRTC RGM Bypass
+ *
+ * AMD Private Color Management on drm_plane
+ * -----------------------------------------
+ *
+ * The AMD private color management properties on a &drm_plane are:
+ *
+ * - AMD_PLANE_DEGAMMA_LUT
+ * - AMD_PLANE_DEGAMMA_LUT_SIZE
+ * - AMD_PLANE_DEGAMMA_TF
+ * - AMD_PLANE_HDR_MULT
+ * - AMD_PLANE_CTM
+ * - AMD_PLANE_SHAPER_LUT
+ * - AMD_PLANE_SHAPER_LUT_SIZE
+ * - AMD_PLANE_SHAPER_TF
+ * - AMD_PLANE_LUT3D
+ * - AMD_PLANE_LUT3D_SIZE
+ * - AMD_PLANE_BLEND_LUT
+ * - AMD_PLANE_BLEND_LUT_SIZE
+ * - AMD_PLANE_BLEND_TF
+ *
+ * The AMD private color management property on a &drm_crtc is:
+ *
+ * - AMD_CRTC_REGAMMA_TF
+ *
+ * Use of these properties is discouraged.
+ *
+ * AMD plane color pipeline
+ * ------------------------
+ *
+ * The AMD &drm_plane color pipeline is advertised for DCN generations
+ * 3.0 and newer. It exposes these elements in this order:
+ *
+ * 1. 1D curve colorop
+ * 2. Multiplier
+ * 3. 3x4 CTM
+ * 4. 1D curve colorop
+ * 5. 1D LUT
+ * 6. 3D LUT
+ * 7. 1D curve colorop
+ * 8. 1D LUT
+ *
+ * The multiplier (#2) is a simple multiplier that is applied to all
+ * channels.
+ *
+ * The 3x4 CTM (#3) is a simple 3x4 matrix.
  *
- * The pipe blending also happens after these blocks so we don't actually
- * support any CRTC props with correct blending with multiple planes - but we
- * can still support CRTC color management properties in DM in most single
- * plane cases correctly with clever management of the DC interface in DM.
+ * #1, and #7 are non-linear to linear curves. #4 is a linear to
+ * non-linear curve. They support sRGB, PQ, and BT.709/BT.2020 EOTFs or
+ * their inverse.
  *
- * As per DRM documentation, blocks should be in hardware bypass when their
- * respective property is set to NULL. A linear DGM/RGM LUT should also
- * considered as putting the respective block into bypass mode.
+ * The 1D LUTs (#5 and #8) are plain 4096 entry LUTs.
  *
- * This means that the following
- * configuration is assumed to be the default:
+ * The 3DLUT (#6) is a tetrahedrally interpolated 17 cube LUT.
  *
- * Plane DGM Bypass -> Plane CTM Bypass -> Plane RGM Bypass -> ...
- * CRTC DGM Bypass -> CRTC CTM Bypass -> CRTC RGM Bypass
